Know the precise position of every overhead crane so cranes do not collide with each other, and protect vehicles and people working under a load.
Time-of-flight radio devices on each overhead crane measure its position precisely as it moves along the runway.
With every crane’s position known, the system helps prevent collisions between overhead cranes that share a runway, and helps keep a crane from running off the end of its runway. The goal is collision avoidance: keeping cranes from hitting each other. It is often called crane avoidance.
How the system warns or intervenes depends on your crane controls and is defined during the site analysis.
To protect vehicles and people working under a crane load, Metal Fleet can combine active RFID with cameras.
The design depends on your crane bays and traffic patterns, and is set during the site analysis.
Follow coil transport vehicles and other mobile equipment as they travel between indoor bays and outdoor areas.
Hybrid systems hand off between GPS outdoors and active RFID indoors, so a vehicle is not lost at the doorway.
Position, identification and visual confirmation work together.
Gives the position of each overhead crane for collision avoidance and end-of-runway protection.
Tags on vehicles and people identify what is working near a crane’s path, indoors and in the yard.

No. It supports your safety program and does not replace your plant’s safety procedures or certified safety systems.
Pricing is set after a site and systems analysis, never before. The first step is a discovery call about your facility and what you need to track.
Tell us what you need to track and where it moves. We'll tell you how we can help and what it takes to get there. Because every facility is different, pricing is set after a call and an analysis.
